Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether being socially withdrawn would have an impact on friendship qualities and whether the negative impact of being socially aloof would extend to dyadic relationships. Furthermore, the differences between shy and unsociable children in terms of friendship qualities were examined. No real data has been collected, but the current study aims to recruit 500 children aged 9-10. The predicted results were discussed in this paper, which predicts that friendship qualities of withdrawn children were lower than non-withdrawn children. This indicates that the negative impact of being withdrawn extends to dyadic relationships. We also predicted that friendship qualities of shy children were lower than unsociable children, which indicates that anxiety is also detrimental to the quality of dyadic relationships.
